If not, the flamberge style of swords. It could be a rapier, could be a two-hander. Just so long as it's a "flame-baded" sword.

I'd go with either the falcata or the khopesh.

I always found the idiom "the pen is mightier than the sword" an interesting one. Though, the pen is not very effective against those that are pretty much coo coo in the head, especially if one carries the way of the sword. But against those that are still rational, the pen has a chance. :P

I kinda figured it was just an old wordplay, trying to sneak "penis" into a sentence back when that was so risque that it might risk your whole career.

I mean, it was 1839. This passed for comedy back then.

silly question, does machete count as sword, or is it more considered a stupidly big knife?
If yes, I would go with machete. Not that I would necessarily pick it if I had to use to defend myself with (if I had, I would pick katana, also my second choice if machete does not count), but having held a few swords and played around with them, none of them made me feel the way the machete did. Not sure how to describe it, the simplicity and weight of it just made it feel 'brutal' and in a way uncomfortable...

Machette is a knife.

My favorite, though not exactly a sword:
